Howth Brownies get ready for party

NORTHSIDE Brownies will be among 3,000 girls from all over the country taking part in a massive centenary celebration in Dublin Zoo this Saturday, April 12.

Brownies is the Irish Girl Guides (IGG) branch that caters for girls aged six and a half to 10 and a half.

The first Brownie pack in the country started in Newbridge in 1914.

The Brownies have been preparing for the mega birthday bash by completing various centenary challenges and making banners to display at the zoo as well as badges to swap with other Brownies they meet on the day.

The Northside Brownies can’t wait to meet Brownies from all over Ireland and take part in the big party and disco as well as seeing all the animals!

Meanwhile, Irish Girl Guides welcomes new members from age five, young leaders from age 15 and adult volunteers from age 18. To find out more, visit www.irishgirlguides.ie
